    [From Reddit] New Features announced at the Waterline 2023 video

    No one noticed this gem? What is it's supershit feature?
  2. Karkong_the_Impaler

    AA question

    Yes. No. The opposite, actually. Someone at WG is a huge fan of CVs being able to crap on every other ship, in addition to them casually spotting, say, light cruisers and DDs to death. That's all there is to it.

    Best ship for achieving fastest "Main battery hits" missions?

    I just play the game and the ships that I like. Only when the reward is reasonably enticing, I switch to play BBs to, say, base exp there or whatever kind of bears asses I am supposed to collect. I'm not doing missions in coop, that's just a less bloody lobotomy and certainly a waste of my time on earth.

    So is that that u so much wanted WG???

    Fixed it for you.

    Do you need to make the hits in one game? If not, then you can first do colbert and then do smolensk if you get blapped. Also, colbert is quite tanky if you don't get hit, my record is 4,x million.

    Chatbans and you.

    Better quality insults? Kudos man, you take the will to improve to the next level! I personally know someone who got chatbanned while being chatbanned. Since he couldn't verbally grill people, he kept pinging them hard which in turn earned him an extension.

    Chatbans and you.

    I've been chatbanned for saying "[edited]disco" after a disconnect. My favourite hypothesis is that someone at WG is a big fan. But to err on the side of caution, I'd avoid the use of "disco" entirely, maybe it's the other way around.

    Wait what...? 6BBs per side are quite common, so that softcap gets overmatched for the lack of another word by the insane amount of babbies in the queue? So when is it actually working?

  10. I love how unashamed you put "toxicity" and "potatos" in one sentence. But basically, yes, if falling face first on the W key for a yolo push is the opposite of "boring" and "static play" for you, I'm happy you found a tier you enjoy. Don't you worry, WG got you covered to prevent steamrolls in the future. Simply by prolonging the time needed to mop up the stragglers - glorious spreadsheet says it is no longer steamroll, because took time, comrade! I crap you not:

    You may want to read what you type.

    Do you use secondaries Build on British Battlecruisers?

    I tried it with Incomparable, to get that increased reload speed. It's absolutely not worth it.
  13. Karkong_the_Impaler

    some skills dont belong in this game

    Yes, one could remove that skill. If you at the same time remove, say, overmatch and maybe remove the light cruiser citadels, too. (can anyone still remember DDs with citadels? Hilarious). Again, I could probably type slower, but that might not help: This skill balances out surprise devstrikes by useless sniper BBs at unengaged targets.

    There's something really wrong with this game

    Depends. If you manage this in the seal clubbing or, god beware, the bot clubbing tiers, it doesn't mean much. Neither does division play or basically anything without statistical significance. So, basically, what's your win rate on tier 10, solo, minimum of 100 games played? This is still not considering a moving average filter, your losses from 2017 are still counted, so, one can argue to only count the ships you've played in the last year. That makes it admittedly a bit fuzzy.

    New IJN Light Cruisers

    Kleber is a light cruiser, too. If you show broadside, you get reload boosted AP untill you die. Most of these things use age of sail tactics and show way too much broadside and eat citadels in return.

    too many modes spoil the whole game

    Most bad to really bad players are currently playing airship race - can't say why, but potato alert is usually deep red, everywhere. And the play is as atrocious as expected. So, there should be better players left for randoms, right? On the other hand, a good player can make his influence work and carry the game, so... if you can't, have you considered it's a you issue if you need the team to carry you? Yes, some people apparently play by rolling their face on the keyboard, but they're distributed evenly. Yes, you can have bad luck and get too many of them to carry, but on average, you'll have good luck, too. But if it's continuously bad - don't look any further, it's not the team, it's you. Also, shaming disabled people doesn't make you look smart... the opposite actually. Again: Maybe you need to git gud? Sealclubbing or even dominating bots below tier 4 is... nothing to be proud of.

    Could be, could be! I've just got a ghostly inspiration - globules made from healing stone! Guranteed sugar free and even vegan. Depending on the mineral, it's also undeniably good for your magnesium or calcium intake. Or if you use, say, Lópezite, you can even cure stupid permanently. Also waiting untill the target starts to turn - most players won't stop their turn, thinking that they will evade the salvo because of their turn. Then it's just a matter of aim and RNG. Turns are by the way telegraphed by the minimap direction line... Or you press X and aim manually (also check the circle on the minimap). If you haven't locked him in, he gets no alert (and you get worse dispersion). If there is someone nearby, aim at him and shoot the other target with normal dispersion and he still gets no warning (although the target lock has become a bit... erratic recently) Decent players don't blindly react to the incoming fire alert, they look where the shots are going to land - you can dodge salvos like you dodge torps with an agile ship. And basically - if you're sniping from 20km away, you're either entirely useless or the game just started. Sniping someone who is not distracted by, say, the iminent danger of getting blapped when he shows broadside is very hard in the first place. What a sniper is looking for is positioning himself in a way so he can shoot the broadside of ships that engage his team nose in, which mean he basically needs to position himself in the middle of the map to be able to shoot at the flanks. That is not a good position to be in if you're a bad player.

    It helps against unexpected potshots from across the map, say, through a gap in the mountains. If you play superlight cruisers, say, Colbert, Memetaur or somesuch, it's a highly valueable and appreciated skill. Even for ok'ish players.

    The skill levels the playing field between the cruisers and the useless long range sniper BBs. Imagine if these would additionally get rewarded for their gameplay when they blap unwary CAs from a distance, you'd need to invent the H line for them. nope. Git gud?
  21. Karkong_the_Impaler

    So is that that u so much wanted WG???

    Depends on the cruiser you play. Gibraltar for example suffers greatly, Colbert doesn't really mind as long as there is someone to piss on.

    My powers of divination tell me you're a highly unsuccessful BB main. Does that sound about right?
